| Symantec Ghost alternative
I've always wanted to create my own custom recovery image/disc (like the ones from OEM computer), but never knew which program would do it. Whenever I needed to reinstall my OS, I needed to download all the programs again and reinstall everything.
I finally stumbled upon Symantec Ghost (I'm probably so outdated), and I wanted to know what do fellow members use and their reviews and experiences of it.
Thanks!

^Thanks! I had no idea that Windows 7 had such a feature. Does such feature exist on XP?
I searched up acronis true image and it's a paid software.
I'm wondering are there any legit free software?
Thanks again

Edit: Oops. My bad. Looks like they removed all the copyrighted stuff now.
Hiren's isn't free. It's a collection of pirated utilities. Posted via RS Mobile

moved from ghost to acronis TI about 3 years ago. Best $50 spent on software.
Neat thing is that you can create a boot disk out of anything (cd, usb, etc), and after creating a clean formatted image it takes me 20 mins to reformat to a clean state every year with my custom settings and all minimum drivers, instead of the usual 3-4 hours.

| Macrium Reflect. It's free! Paid version can do incremental updates, free version just does one image backup at a time.
